4 Equations and inequalities

Continued
Step 2 y = 3x + 1 Substitute x = 4 into either of the equations to find the value of y.
= 3× 4 +1
= 13
Step 3 y=x+ 9 Substitute x = 4 into the other equation to check you get the same
= 4+9 value for y.
= 13 If you don’t get the same value, you have made a mistake.
Step 4 x = 4 Clearly write your answers at the end of your working.
        y = 13

Exercise 4.2
1 Copy and complete the workings to solve the equations y = 5x − 3
and y = 2x + 15.
Step 1: Work out x. Step 2: Work out y. Step 3: Check values are
5x − 3 = 2x + 15 y = 5x − 3 correct.
5x − = 15 + = 5× −3 y = 2x + 15
x= = −3 = 2× + 15

= = + 15
x= =

b On graph paper, draw a coordinate grid from 0 to 6 on the x-axis and
from 0 to 20 on the y-axis.
Plot the points from your tables on the grid and draw the straight lines
y = 3x + 1 and y = x + 9.
c Write the coordinates of the points where your two lines intersect.
d What do you notice about your answers to part c, and the solution to the
simultaneous equations in Worked example 4.2?
e Discuss your answer to part d with other learners in your class.
In general, what can you say about the solution of two simultaneous equations
and the coordinates of the point where the lines of the two equations intersect?

8 Sergio and Fausta solve the simultaneous equations x + 3y = 25


and 4x = 3y + 10. They both use the method of substitution,
but their methods are slightly different. This is what they write:

Sergio Fausta
Rearrange x + 3y = 25 → x = 25 – 3y Rearrange x + 3y = 25 → 3y = 25 – x
Substitute x = 25 – 3y into 4x = 3y + 10 Substitute 3y = 25 – x into 4x = 3y + 10
4(25 – 3y) = 3y + 10 4x = 25 – x + 10
100 – 12y = 3y + 10 5x = 35
100 – 10 = 3y + 12y 35
x= =7
90 = 15y 5
Substitute x = 7 into 3y = 25 – x
y = 90
15
=6 3y = 25 – 7
Substitute y = 6 into x = 25 – 3y 3y = 18
x = 25 – 3 × 6 = 25 – 18 = 7 y = 183
=6
Check in second equation:
Check in second equation:
4 × 7 = 3 × 6 + 10 → 28 = 28 ✓
4 × 7 = 3 × 6 + 10 → 28 = 28 ✓
x = 7 and y = 6
x = 7 and y = 6

a Use Sergio’s method to solve these


simultaneous equations. Tip
i  x + 2y = 17 and For part i, rearrange x + 2y = 17 to get
3x = 4y + 11 x = … For part ii, rearrange 2x + y = 28 to get
ii 2x + y = 28 and y = … OR rearrange 4y = x + 22 to get x = …
4y = x + 22
b Use Fausta’s method to solve these
simultaneous equations.
Tip
i  x + 2y = 8 and For part i, rearrange x + 2y = 8 to get 2y = …
5x = 2y + 4 For part ii, rearrange 3x + 2y = 28 to get 3x =
ii 3x + 2y = 28 and … OR rearrange 3y = 3x + 12 to get 3x = …
3y = 3x + 12
9 Solve each pair of simultaneous equations.
Use your favourite algebraic method.
a x+y=7 b y + x = 19 c 2x + y = 18 d y = 2x
y = 2x − 8 x = 5y + 1 y = 2x − 10 x = 2y − 9
